Cons

The TRENDnet TEG-424WS is an advanced, 24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch featuring 24 Ethernet ports, 4 Gigabit ports, and 2 shared Mini-GBIC slots for connecting to a fiber network. It’s essentially a more compact and less expensive version of the 48-port TEG-2248WS. It too configures ports that can be configured for speed, flow control, and port-based QoS (limited to Normal/High queues). Included also support for SNMP v1, 802.1X, STP, 802.1Q VLAN, IGMP snooping, Broadcast Storm Control, and port Trunking. Interface is key though, as the TEG-424WS utilizes a web-browser management interface that they claim even non-experts can figure out.
